Ralph Loop Workflow

Run a coding agent in an autonomous loop that breaks a wide prompt into tasks and builds, tests, and ships each one.

Prerequisites

Complete these setup recipes first:

• AI Coding Agent Configuration
• Code Health, Linting & Formatting
• Testing

The Loop

Ralph maximizes how long the agent runs without human intervention. The goal is not a file format — it is keeping the agent able to plan, build, and verify on its own. The durable record of intent lives in the artifacts the agent produces: tests (executable acceptance criteria), user-facing docs, and a changelog for published libraries.
